IJJ ETF: A Solid Way To Play Mid-Caps
iShares S&P Mid-Cap 400 Value ETF, a passively managed ETF by Blackrock, offers low-fee exposure to mid-cap value stocks, outperforming peers like FLQM and other passively managed mid-cap ETFs. The fund tracks the S&P 400 Value Mid Cap Index, rebalancing quarterly with criteria focused on book value to price, earnings to price, and sales to price ratios. IJJ has a solid track record, with a high NAV and daily volume, and has outperformed both passive and active peers over 1 and 5-year periods.
IJJ's Focus Doesn't Work When There's Inflation Amid Potential Rate Cuts
IJJ has industrial, consumer cyclicals and financials as important components of its portfolio. The yield curve is shifting down as economic concerns mount, meaning lower rates but also iffy demand for the regional bank exposures, neither being great. For industrials, a relevant export base, retaliations aren't good for the topline and reflect risks to the bottom line of upping procurement costs with tariffs.
IJJ: Value Factor Should Continue To Outperform
The iShares S&P Mid-Cap 400 Value ETF tracks mid-cap companies exhibiting value characteristics, with the top ten holdings accounting for just 9.92% of ETF assets. The ETF's sector allocation is primarily to the financials, industrials, and consumer discretionary sectors. IJJ has recently started to outperform the iShares Russell Mid-Cap Growth ETF.
